Muirhead Speed Gates

The Muirhead® Speed Gates are a system designed to improve safety for company equipment and personnel across materials-handling operations.

The technology can be applied to warehouses to safely control forklift speed when entering and exiting through doorways. Speed Gates consist of two anchors and are placed at doorways. A Machine Location Tag is installed on the mobile equipment which detects when the piece of equipment has travelled through a gate and signals a Muirhead® Speed Limiter to select the predetermined maximum speed allowed in that specific area. The Speed Gates can be configured to control up to four separate speeds across a single site. To enable the control of vehicle speed a Machine Location Tag must be interfaced with a Muirhead® Speed Limiter and may also be interfaced into any 12/24 Vdc input in third-party devices that may already have the ability to control the speed of the equipment.

• Speed can be controlled throughout a building with Speed Gates at each doorway.
• The system components can operate in a variety of environmental conditions.
• Easy installation and no ongoing maintenance required.
